How To Make

1.Cut a 15x15cm square from the A4 cardstock and stitch around the

Tip:
When changing direction or turning a corner finish with the needle down to hold
the paper in place while you lift the foot and turn the paper.

2.Cut 5 small flag shapes using your favourite papers; add to the
card by adding a small piece of tape to the back of each one. Use a straight
stitch to sew across the card, stitching along the top of each flag to create a
bunting effect.

3.Tip: Do
not put tape where you will be sewing, this would cause the needle to become
sticky.

4.Using the alphabet dies, die cut the word HAPPY and stick a letter
to each flag.

the word Happy and stamp to word Birthday to the bottom right of the card.

of the paper and secure with tape or wrap around the edge of the paper and
secure at the back.

a decorative stitch to sew along the edge, we created a Zig Zag with a straight

the paper, attaching half of a doily to one side by stitching it down the
straight edge. Stick to the card covering the edge of the last layer.

along the paper. Add to the centre of the card.

Tip: When changing stitch test it on
a scrap piece of paper.
